Maybe he was thinking of all the preferences as a whole document.....What we could do is to make it update the preferences that are sent, rather than deleting all the preferences. This would be done as a POST. Also being able to fetch all preferences that start with a particular key may prove useful for things like editors getting all their prefs.
